En route vers la Phase 3 (2015-18)
Le 7 novembre 2014, nous avons envoyé un formulaire d’Application à l’Agence de Santé Publique du Canada (ASPC) afin de soumettre notre candidature en vue d’obtenir une extension des fonds, nous permettant ainsi de prolonger le projet de recherche jusqu’en 2018 (Phase 3). Cette demande contenait des Lettres de Soutien provenant de nos 5 partenaires des Premières Nations. Nous négocions présentement avec de nouvelles communautés et des partenaires additionnels. La prochaine étape est de répondre aux questions posées par un panel d’experts qui ont été réunis par l’ASPC; la téléconférence aura lieu entre le 1er et 4 décembre 2014.
